WHY?

Because everyone else is.

This year has brought with it an avalanche of accolades, both locally and nationally, for Fragasso Financial Advisors. And, at this time of thanksgiving, we could not be more overwhelmed with gratitude. Although our hard work and ethical efforts to consistently provide you with the best possible direction for your financial future is recognized daily by our satisfied clients, it is nice to know others recognize the inherent benefits of Fragasso Financial Advisors’s team, experience and methodology.


It has been said that good things happen in threes. We couldn’t agree more.

  1. In May, Robert Fragasso was chosen as one of the top 10 most outstanding investment professionals nationally by Registered Rep Magazine.

    He was chosen for this honor from among more than 400,000 licensed investment professionals. Selection criteria included integrity, industry experience, unique practices and client retention rates. According to Boston-based research firm, Cerulli Associates, this year’s winners place among the top five percent of the industry. Bob and the other 2004 recipients were acknowledged at a private dinner on May 13, 2004 in the Boardroom of the New York Stock Exchange.

  2. In September, Robert Fragasso was chosen as one of the top 100 financial advisors nationwide by The Dow Jones Business and Financial Weekly, Barron’s.

    He was chosen for this honor from among more than 3,000 financial advisors. Selection criteria included integrity, professionalism and a niche specialty for serving high-wealth individuals, defined as people with $1-10 million or more to invest.

    The 100 winners were recognized in the September 20th issue of the publication in a special section titled, "Best Brokers."

  3. In October, Fragasso Financial Advisors was selected as one of the 30 best places to work, an award program orchestrated by the Pittsburgh Business Times.

    Selection criteria included nominations and the content of survey responses from employees and management within the company. The Fragasso Group won fourth place in its division (Small Companies) and was featured in the Pittsburgh Business Times award supplement in the October 8, 2004 issue of the paper. The Fragasso Group was honored at an awards luncheon on October 7 at the Omni William Penn in downtown Pittsburgh.

    We appreciate your continued confidence in our firm. We strive to be the best for you.

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving season!
